Surprises.

I guess the biggest surprise for Joan and I now is how interested we are in Euro 2016. We were both somewhat shocked to hear that England and Spain were defeated but happy for Iceland. We saw a documentary on their football team a month ago and how the whole island is involved with them. In the quarter finals they will play France on Sunday while Poland will play Portugal this Thursday night. Naturally we are hoping for a miracle and Poland defeats Portugal. I'm going to have to buy Joan one of those red and white, "Cat in the Hat", hats for the game Thursday, maybe some red and white face paint too :-)

A month or so ago I wrote about visiting Ogród Botaniczny "Elzbietówka" (Elzbietka Botanical Gardens), a private garden east of Poznań about 40 minutes, but found out it was only possible to visit as a group of people. I wrote to the owner who told me this information. However, today I received an email from her that we could join a group a people who will visit her and her garden on Sunday, July 17th at 9:00 if we wanted to. We talked about it today and will go to see this garden which is suppose to be beautiful. It is in the village of Brzeżno. We will have to get up early in order to be on time but I think it will be worth it to see a new place. We very much like visiting new places.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09es8IAGICo
